SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Burglary
Protection
Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and
MAXIMUM, and allows you to BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the
system armed. You must turn on or "arm" the burglary protection portion of your
system before it will sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a CHIME mode,
for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is
disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures for using these
features.
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Security Codes
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal four-digit security code,
known only to you. You must enter the security code when arming and disarming the
system, and when performing other system functions. As an additional safety feature,
other users who do not have a need to know your code can be assigned different
security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding
security codes to the system.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will
sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and
planning emergency exit routes from the premises.
